I look forward to the holidays so I can catch up with them and have some bonding time.” Alyssa Dibartolo, a junior, also will be spending Easter Sunday among family and friends. “On Easter, my whole family spends the morning at mass and then we go out to brunch. My favorite part about it is seeing friends and family that you don’t normally get to see. I always cherish this time I get to spend with them, since they live hours away. It’s truly a blessing to me.”

No matter where you are for Easter or who you’re with, make the most of this holy time and enjoy the day!
